NOVEL NEXT Chapter592-Completing the Mission
For Daniel, even though Isabella had voluntarily offered herself, he still felt some hesitation. This was especially true when he saw, under Faer's skill, Isabella melt away like ice—an action that made him instinctively turn his head.
On the other side, Faer noticed Daniel's discomfort and spoke with confusion.
"Lord Crossbridge, there's no need to feel so sad."
"In fact, the damage caused by Elemental Mourning·Annihilation doesn't bring any pain."
"When it's one of our own, I don't use those cruel, harm-inflicting skills. To be precise, this skill is already one of the mildest, and I guarantee there won't be any pain."
Daniel nodded and didn't speak further. After a brief silence, he spoke again.
"Faer, if this ever happens again, I hope you'll use a gentler approach."
While Daniel and Faer communicated mentally, the replica of Isabella was completely reduced to ashes.
Everyone thought that the replica of Isabella had been erased, but only Daniel knew that he had kept a strand of her hair in his backpack space.
Although he knew that this was merely a replica, Daniel couldn't help but sigh.
"Regardless, I won't let you die in vain. One day, when I have enough power, I promise I'll bring you back to life."
Daniel whispered in his heart, a flicker of determination in his eyes.
Meanwhile, on the Godfall Battlefield, the gods of the Ancient God Pantheon, having witnessed Daniel and Faer's actions, were left in shock.
They couldn't fathom what these modern gods were doing. Why had they suddenly erased their own member, a god who belonged to their faction?
Moreover, the female god didn't seem to have resisted at all. She had only tried to escape, but Faer had given her no chance.
So… what was going on here?
The gods of the Ancient God Pantheon were full of questions, but they were destined to receive no answers. After all, they couldn't just step forward and ask Daniel why he killed their own god, could they?
On the other side, once Daniel had composed himself, he also noticed that his Ascension Ritual had been completed.
After all, the death of the replica Isabella was directly tied to Daniel and was even something he had orchestrated himself. Therefore, completing the Ascension Ritual was only a natural consequence.
Daniel instinctively looked at his Ascension Ritual Task.
[Task Requirements]
Reach level 700 (Completed)
Own a personal dimension space (Completed)
Participate in a war between gods and, through your actions, cause one god's fall (Completed)
[Task Rewards]
Receive Demigod Rank divine power
Obtain a God Rank skill ranked in the top 20
With all three task requirements completed, Daniel had officially reached the Demigod Rank!
He could clearly feel his power rise significantly, and his divine authority was now infinitely close to that of a true god.
However, Daniel's primary concern at the moment was still Isabella's situation.
So, he directly opened the Time Corridor and brought Isabella's original body out.
"Don't worry, it's all over now," Daniel reassured her.
Hearing Daniel's words, Isabella nodded and instinctively looked at her own body.
Everything that had happened felt like a dream. She only remembered Daniel using a dagger to cut her body, and then she was pulled into the Time Corridor. Before long, she had been released from the corridor.
The whole process was very brief, and even the wounds on her body had fully healed.
She looked at Daniel beside her, confused, and asked:
"Little brother, it seems like I'm fine!"
"Does that mean… I wasn't chosen?"
Daniel smiled faintly and then gently shook his head.
"That's right, you weren't chosen. But in the near future, you might have a little sister appear."
"The specifics, I think Elizabeth will explain to you."
In fact, Elizabeth had been watching everything unfold. She understood that the replica of Isabella would eventually be resurrected by Daniel.
But for Daniel, the most challenging part was actually suppressing the inner god within them.
However, there was not much he could do about it for the time being.
With that thought, Daniel shook his head and shifted his focus to his own changes.
Until now, he hadn't fully adjusted to the fact that he had reached Demigod Rank.
From Daniel's perspective, the Ascension Ritual to Demigod Rank seemed far easier than the one for Fake God rank!
Now, Daniel had truly become a demigod, albeit at the initial stage. Nevertheless, his strength had already undergone a massive boost.
However, Daniel felt a little regretful. Because he hadn't personally killed the replica of Isabella, his Humanity Ascension Ritual had not been completed.
Although Daniel felt a slight sense of loss over this, he found it something he could accept.
After all, if the replica of Isabella hadn't been killed soon, and if the inner god of the replica had awakened, the trouble could have been far worse!
If Daniel had taken action, the risk would have undoubtedly increased significantly.
With that thought, Daniel couldn't help but furrow his brows.
He suddenly came up with a bold idea!
What if… what if, after he reached the God Rank, he could no longer use the God of Thieves' Dagger? That would undoubtedly be a huge weakening of his power.
But if he used the God of Thieves' Dagger to create avatars, the inner god would become an unavoidable problem.
After all, if, when creating an avatar, his own inner god found a way to exploit the situation, that would spell trouble!
So, Daniel realized something crucial: before ascending to the God Rank, his top priority must be to completely erase his inner god.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to fully utilize his power.
With this realization, Daniel began to rethink his plans for the Third Pantheon.
Next, he would have to complete the Third Pantheon at the near-God Rank stage. However, Daniel was still quite far from completing it.
Fortunately, he now knew the method to finish it!
The God of Knowledge was clearly a huge trap, but the Third Pantheon he offered was an immense temptation for Daniel.
